Yout really care what call it. It. Heinous crime. Me. Yeah. Whatever would give thehe people involved maximum penaltyy is what it they should determini it to be. B how heartless are you you take e anyone let alone someone mentally up capable don this to them. I dont care what label they put it make sure these people areeoe pun initial. N it sends the message thiins ishs wrong. We shouldnt have to send thet me hssagave if we have lets dot in a strong way. Way disturbed by the fact these a are people who didnt seet s anything wrong with way theyng were doing. Oi. Exactly. To rag wanted to brag about it. They wanted this to go viral. They wanted the world to see t e what they were doing with thiso person. That disturbs me. The fact people that arethatct deeoplsperate for attention thet take it out on somebody else. Y. My question is, what weretioa they hoping to gain from it . I in this day and age right. Like what was the Bigger Picture for them. Right. Rig its silly because you thinkingi about this from the act itself l which is deplorable and then you factor in the social mediaia broadcasting live as spec of it, and that just to me that justus kicks it up even more. M not only are you doing wrong tot someone else, but now youre putting it out there like ike like its not wrong. It like its not wrong. E it this is not big deal. Is is bi lets do social media on this,hi its just deplorable. Theres web sites that panden to these people get into fightst and they post it oh and there. Tn remember when they had those homeless beatings they calleds d them and they will beat upy ll b Homeless People and post it on o web sites specifically just tout get the clicks and likes. L i wonder if that was along thest lines. Again, whatever the reason, this has to be punished in a severe r way to let people know i dontno care what you call it its wrono its wrong, its wrong.
